Why do you need a bra at 34A?
Just go without.

ClaimedByMe · 21/07/2012 19:59

Because I have had children and what I have needs a little support and it boosts my confidence a bit.

That is one of the loveliest bridesmaid's dresses I've seen. It's really gorgeous.

No suggestion about bras though, sorry. I usually buy mine in M&S and find they're usually very good.

I would avoid straps with that dress, either a strapless bra, some stick on support or a half-corset would work. La senza or Ann Summers should stock something suitable.

Ok, you need this
No other strapless bra does the job properly, these bras are awesome!
Nice dress by the way Smile

ClaimedByMe · 21/07/2012 20:08

Thanks the dress is really nice (and age 14 and I am 30)

Slide thats the right kind of thing but doesnt go small enough Blush

I have one of these and find it to be comfortable and versatile as you can wear it with straps so you will get some wear of it after the wedding. It popped up with a 10% offf code NY46 if you order by Sunday too!

ClaimedByMe · 21/07/2012 20:12

I have wonderbra one on the wonderbra site in the right size!

Hetaera thanks, that one looks good!

Would a black bra or a natural bra be better?

I'd go for the natural/nude one in order to get the most wear out of it with strappy summer tops etc.
But I don't think the black one would show through the thickness of that dress if you were more of a black bra sort of person. Smile

I am a teenage any coloured bra out of markies kinda person, I spend my life in jeans and tshirts so this dressing up is a bit of a shock to me!

It's a bloody nightmare.
Bras these days can serve as a substitute for an armoured vehicle. heaven forbid the hint of a nipple as much as threatens to show...
All the padding that goes in.
I'm the same size and it drives me bonkers.
Watching thread.

are you Scottish by any chance? I call them markies too Smile

wishiwasonholiday · 22/07/2012 17:49

I had wonderbra one and the bits underneath snapped after a few wears.

SleepyFergus · 22/07/2012 17:54

I'm Scottish and say 'Markies'!

ClaimedByMe · 22/07/2012 20:56

Yes I am, from Dundee, always called it markies!
